Narration Conducive To Books Raja Gidh / راجه گدھ

Raja Gidh (Urdu: راجه گدھ) by Bano Qudsia is one of the most widely read and acclaimed Urdu novels. Gidh is the Urdu word for a vulture and Raja is a Hindi synonym for king. The name anticipates the kingdom of vultures. In fact, parallel to the main plot of the novel, an allegorical story of such a kingdom is narrated. The metaphor of the vulture as an animal feeding mostly on the carcasses of dead animals is employed to portray the trespassing of ethical limits imposed by the society or by the religion. Bano Qudsia has written this novel drawing on the religious concept of Haraam and Halaal. Many readers tend to interpret Raja Gidh as a sermon, in which Bano Qudsia puts forth her theory of hereditary transmission of Haraam genes. Naturally the plot is woven to support the thesis. In the opinion of many readers and critics she manages to convince them that the pursuance of Haraam, be it financial, moral or emotional, results in the deterioration of a person's normality in some sense. She seems to suggest that the abnormality is transferred genetically to the next generation. Apart from the above implication the novel has many social, emotional and psychological aspects. The nostalgic narration of the historical Government College Lahore and of the Lawrence Garden Lahore lights upon the days of seventies and eighties. Bano Qudsia is among those Urdu writers who would think ten times before writing a sentence. But she does not sacrifice the flow of the narrative anywhere in this novel. Her characters are not black and white ones as some of the critics would like to suggest. Every sensitive reader who has attended a college or a university in a Pakistani setting is bound to find some similarities between themselves and one of the characters. Plot: Seemin Shah, hailing from an upper middle class family, falls in love with her handsome class fellow Aftab in the MA Sociology class at Government College Lahore. Seemin is a modern and attractive urban girl and attracts most of her male class fellows, including the narrator (abdul)Qayyum and the young liberal professor Suhail. Aftab belongs to a Kashmiri business family. Though he also loves her, he can not rise above his family values and succumbs to his parent's pressure to marry someone against his wishes and leave for London to look after his family business. Now the long story of separation begins.

Notice About Books Raja Gidh / راجه گدھ

Hate me for my review but I don't agree with almost half of the things in the novel. The story is so disturbing and dull, maybe that's what the novel is about. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.. At all.

Review of "Raja Gidh" by Bano Qudsia It is very difficult to not like something that's written by a legend. Every single line of her can be quoted.For me, reading literature is very difficult. I can't just read from page 1 to the last page, as I do with fiction books. I need to read a few pages or chapters, then take a break to absorb it and then come back to resume the book.The characters are disturbing and their journeys are depressing. The narrative is bold, and it often made me think, isn't

Excellent book. Explain the philosophy of life.

One of the many disappointing Urdu novels that are written with total lack of a plot. I got fascinated with the beginning description of the animal kingdom but what followed was total misery, misery for the reader. The most boring description of events, cliched characters (students of philosophy department in Punjab University) dull dialogues, it seemed like a revenge from the reader. Unfortunately, it seems like she plunged into novel writing without having a narrative long enough to fill 300+

Raja Gidh, a phenomenal and classical novel written by Bano Qudsia . This novel not only delinates the long-trem effects of Rizq-e-Haraam on the lives of human beings ,but helps in revealing some of the main reasons for dissatisfied and catastrophic life.The characters in Raja Gidh are everyday characters (basically its us). The writer compares the human nature with Gidh (scavenger) and tries to convince the reader that humans are just like Gidhs (even worst then them). If a Gidhs eat meat of

I don't know why we no longer have writers like Bano Qudsiyah and novels like raja gidh. We have done something seriously wrong with our literature. Now every novel has a same story line of a spoiled rich boy falling in love with a religious girl and himself turning into a "molvi" as a result. Almost every novel follows a religious theme with a super pious girl who knows nothing about the world. I mean why are we turning into such religion snobs. I do not have anything against religion, but not

this book has really got very deep philosophy of life and doings ang genetic habbits transfer ..... how man starts loving GOD starting from a human love.... so do read awsome book.
